Really? Marcum to the minors?

I was in a little disbelief when I found out today that Shaun Marcum was sent to the minors. Yes, he did get a little roughed up last night by the Red Sox, but by no means was he have a Jesse Litsch-like collapse.

Speaking of which, Jesse was in fine form today stifling the Red Sox sluggers to an eventual 10-0 win. This is the second straight quality start from Litsch since his return from the minors; so let's hope that Marcum enjoys the same success from being demoted to Triple A.

And what is up with the Jays suddenly looking like a playoff-bound team? I think they really do play best against the contenders in the division (Red Sox, Yankees, and Rays). Wouldn't it be sweet if the Bluebirds could win 2 out of 3 at home against the Yankees AND Red Sox?

Get out the rally towels folks, the season isn't over yet. Thankfully, Steve Bartman is nowhere to be found.

About the Blue Jay Hunter

The Blue Jay Hunter is a blog about the Toronto Blue Jays, which takes a look at the team under the microscope. Mixed in with just a hint of humour, and a shred of dignity. I also have an affinity for baseball moustaches.
